They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone...well I know I had my pc working fine up until I fried my motherboard (or CPU, not exactly sure what the problem is still). Now I have no other resort than to use my dad's pc for all my online needs, which is fine...until he needs to use it.

At first I thought this wasn't too bad since I'd be forced to find something else to do with my time. Now I realize that, that was a naive thought considering the fact that I used to do nothing all day but sit my ass on my computer simply because there wasn't anything else to do. Everything that I needed to do (applying for a mindless retail jobs mainly) I've done.

So what's a man to do in such desperate times? Simple, just play the shit out of whatever 360/Xbox games I've got lying around, until I complete them.
It's been well over a week and I've already completed Mass Effect, and Saints Row. Now I'm working through a second playthrough of GTA IV to get the achievement for beating the game in under 30 hours, and trying to beat all of Call of Duty 4 on Veteran, only because I have nothing else to do. I'd much rather not play GTA IV for another 5 months, seeing as how I've poured almost 70 hours of my life into it.

Thankfully though, there is hope. Unreal Tournament 3 is out for the 360 next week and I'll be all over that like flies on shit. Well, more like rabid dogs on raw meat (It's a far more appropriate comparison). I only face one obstacle: my Xbox Live ran out some time ago.


Hopefully, my broke ass can figure something out by the end of this week (maybe call back one of the mindless retail jobs I applied for and hope for the best).






Oh, and if you were wondering...yes, I did just start a blog on Destructoid because I AM THAT BORED.
